majorsinuse(ADM)


majorsinuse -- display the list of major device numbers currently specified in the mdevice file

Syntax

/etc/conf/cf.d/majorsinuse

Description

This script searches the mdevice file and displays a list of the major device numbers already in use.

When installing a device driver with the Link Kit, you can use majorsinuse to find an available major device number for the driver. When you invoke the configure(ADM) program to modify the system configuration files with the new driver information, use the -m option to indicate the major device number of the driver.

The -j option to configure performs a function similar to that of majorsinuse. If you give the -j option with the next major keyword, configure tells you the next available major device number.
